Specifies the server duplication method. Select one of the following methods:

• This is a duplicated server using software-based duplication: Software-based duplication provides memory synchronization between an active and a standby virtual machine using a TCP/IP link.

• This is a duplicated server using encrypted software-based duplication: Encrypted software-based duplication provides memory synchronization between an active and a standby virtual machine using AES 128 encryption.

Enter the hostname of the other Communication Manager virtual machine.

Enter the unique virtual machine ID of the other Communication Manager virtual machine. The value of this virtual machine must be an integer from 1 through 256.

• IPv4: Enter the IP address of the Processor Ethernet (PE) interface of the other Communication Manager virtual machine.

• IPv6: Enter the IPv6-compliant IP address of the Processor Ethernet interface of the other Communication Manager virtual machine.

• IPv4: Enter the IP address of the duplication interface of the other Communication Manager virtual machine. You can assign the IP address according to the network configuration.

• IPv6: Enter the IPv6-compliant IP address of the duplication interface of the other Communication Manager virtual machine. You can assign the IP address according to the network configuration.

Select one of the following priority levels:

• HIGH: Favors the virtual machine with the best PE state of health (SOH) when PE SOH varies between virtual machines.

• EQUAL: Counts the Processor Ethernet interface and favors the virtual machine with the best connectivity count.

• IGNORE: Does not include the Processor Ethernet in virtual machine interchange decisions.

• IPv4: Enter the IPv4 address that enables the virtual machine to determine whether the PE interface is working.

  Note:

  The network gateway router is the default address. However, use the IP address of any other device on the network that responds.

• IPv6: Enter the IPv6-compliant IP address that enables the virtual machine to determine whether the PE interface is working.

Updates the system configuration files with the current values on the page and restarts the Communication Manager processes.

Restart the Communication Manager virtual machine for the configuration changes to take effect.

Communication Manager displays a dialog box with the following buttons:

• Restart Now: Restart the Communication Manager virtual machine immediately.

• Restart Later: Restart the virtual machine later.

• Cancel

Updates the system configuration files with the current values on the page.
